'Trease and Evans' is an encyclopedic reference work on
pharmacognosy - the study of those natural substances, principally
plants, that find a use in medicine. Its popularity and longevity
stem from the book's balance between classical (crude and powdered
drugs' characterization and examination) and modern (phytochemistry
and pharmacology) aspects of this branch of science, as well as the
editor's recognition in recent years of the growing importance of
complementary medicines, including herbal, homeopathic and
aromatherapy. No other book provides such a wealth of detail. A
reservoir of knowledge in a field where there is a resurgence of
interest - plants as a source of drugs are of growing interest both
in complementary medicine fields and in the pharmaceutical industry
in their search for new 'lead compounds'. Dr Evans has been
associated with the book for over 20 years and is a recognised
authority in all parts of the world where pharmacognosy is studied,
his knowledge and grasp of the subject matter is unique.
Meticulously referenced and kept up to date by the editor, new
contributors brought in to cover new areas. New chapter on
'Neuroceuticals'. Addition of many new compounds recently added to
British Pharmacopoeia as a result of European harmonisation.
Considers development in legal control and standardisation of plant
materials previously regarded as 'herbal medicines'. More on the
study of safety and efficacy of Chinese and Asian drugs. Quality
control issues updated in line with latest guidelines (BP 2007).
